Leviton 132-T5015-00I 15A Tamper-resistant Single Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO 132-T5015-00I is a commercial-grade, tamper-resistant single grounding receptacle rated at 15 amps. Built from nylon with a narrow-body profile, it features an internal shutter mechanism that blocks contact access unless a 2-prong plug is inserted simultaneously into both slots. This design prevents foreign objects such as hairpins and keys from making contact with live terminals. Large-head terminal screws accept up to No. 10 copper wire. Triple wire power contacts deliver maximum conductivity and plug retention. Licensed electricians install this receptacle in commercial and residential applications where NEC tamper-resistance requirements apply.

This receptacle is suited for commercial and residential installations where code mandates tamper-resistant protection, including schools, healthcare facilities, hotels, and multi-family housing. The narrow body fits standard single-gang boxes with no modification. Back and side wiring options provide installation flexibility in both new construction and retrofit scenarios. Break-off tabs allow quick 2-circuit conversion when wiring configurations require it. Captive mounting screws and washer-type break-off plaster ears speed up installation and help achieve flush, level alignment with the wall surface.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes.
